NONSENSE

While walking down a narrow road Rutted and dusty and steep i came across a big fat toad He was seemingly fast asleep.

i was ready to pass him by when all of a sudden he spoke Do you know, asked he, the reason why? All toads are considered a joke?

Don’t be frightened! Don’t run away Come listen to my tale i’m wise, said he, lived many a day Wandering oer hill and dale.

So quoth he, that greenish brown toad, A lump on earth’s live back, An ugly old creature by the side of the road Away from the beaten track.
